I originally had this when my Mother made it from her recipe and after she passed away the recipe was lost, well this is a version I found online I don't know where the origin of it is from,but it seemed to match my Mothers recipe almost identically. I can never seem to make enough. People go nuts over it. Enjoy :)

Time 1h20m

Yield Makes 48 bites

Number Of Ingredients 16

18 graham crackers (10 ounces)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
Coarse salt
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 cup chopped pecans (4 ounces)
12 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup pure pumpkin puree (from a 15-ounce can)
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
Pinch of ground cloves

Steps:

  • Make crust: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a food processor, pulse graham crackers until finely ground (you should have about 2 1/4 cups). Add 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 stick melted butter, and 1/4 teaspoon salt and pulse until combined. Firmly press mixture into bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Bake until crust is dry and set, about 12 minutes. Remove from oven and reduce temperature to 325 degrees. Let cool completely.
  • Make topping: Combine butter, flour, brown sugar, a pinch of salt, and pecans in a bowl. Rub butter in with your fingers until mixture is well combined and crumbly. Set aside.
  • Make filling: Pulse cream cheese in food processor until smooth. Add 3/4 cup granulated sugar and pumpkin and process until smooth, occasionally scraping down sides of bowl. Add eggs, flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves; process until incorporated. Pour filling into cooled crust, scatter crumbles of topping over and bake until custard is just set and puffed, about 50 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Cut into bite sized squares.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree. This is the best way to get the most flavor out of your squares.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the squares tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the squares hold their shape.
  • Bake the squares until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry.
  • Let the squares cool completely before cutting them. This will help prevent them from crumbling.
  • Store the squares in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

These Crunchy Pumpkin Dessert Squares are the perfect fall treat. They are easy to make, delicious, and sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you are looking for a sweet and satisfying dessert, give these squares a try. You won't be disappointed!
